Neutron Methods

This department is in its founding phase. It is located at the largest outstation of JCNS at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, close to Munich. JCNS-4 will open up an additional focus of research with neutrons and further strengthen cooperation between the MLZ partners due to its director holding a joint appointment at the physics department of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), in keeping with the "Jülich model". JCNS-4 organizes the instrument- and user-operation and coordinates method development at the MLZ outstation of JCNS.

Efficient Iron Scavengers

The cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism in the world. In the course of evolution, it has found a genetically particularly efficient way to absorb and store vital iron. With the help of neutron experiments, researchers have now succeeded for the first time in visualizing the molecular mechanism.
